Allegation: Licensee does not maintain outdoor walkways in safe condition for residents It was alleged that there is an “extremely oversized” pine tree in the facility’s backyard that “poses a critical threat to resident safety due to a severe, constant slipping hazard” due to its “constant shedding of needles and sap.” It was also reported that these “coat the walkways” and create “treacherous footing” for residents. To investigate this allegation, LPA conducted physical plant tour and observed the facility front and back yard appeared to be well maintained, clean and free of hazards (slipping, shedding of needles and sap, etc.) for the residents. Interview with the Designee revealed that the facility has a gardener that is scheduled to come once a week (on Saturday). Designee also informed LPA that she was not aware of any complaints regarding this matter. Lastly, seven (7) residents interviewed expressed no concerns regarding this allegation. Therefore, based on LPAs' observation and interviews this allegation is deemed Unsubstantiated , at this time. No deficiency cited during today's visit. Exit interview conducted, appeal rights explained and copy of this report signed and delivered.
